Biturbo battery problem...

[P5Nij]

I wonder if anyone can help - I'm struggling to find the correct new battery for my '92 Biturbo 430, the size and power rating isn't the problem it's the position of the terminals which are opposite to all of the batteries I've looked at so far, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Cheers

Is your current (geddit) battery correct? Is there a reference on it?

It's a Lucas Premium with reference number LP078, it was on the car when I bought it.

Any 078 battery will do it to be fair.

Have a yuasa in my biturbo, excellent cranking power and good as gold, worth investing in a battery isolator as well

Out of interest is the colour of your Biturbo 'swan white'? It looks the same as mine with a hint of cream in it.

I've got one of those isolators somewhere, left over fro ma previous car.

New LP078 battery arrived and installed - fired up lovely, phew .

I'll bear the YUASA suggestion in mind though, just in case! Next job - get the bloody car down to Migliore for a proper tune up.
